How old is this Schrade Cut Co Scout knife?

[akadave2]

I just picked up my first Schrade Scout knife and Im wondering about its age. Any guesses?

Thanks

There's a chart shown in the first post of the linked thread here:

It appears your tang stamp matches the one used in the period 1917-1946. Beyond that, I've no idea when in that range your Scout model might've been produced.

Good-looking knife there. :thumbup:

Thanks for the info. Quite a spread on the age but thats how it goes with objects like this. Sure love the classic Schrade peachseed!

With that bone jigging, I would guess just after WWI. 1920s.
I believe the finer Peachseed jigging is from the 1930s-1940s, and later.

Yeah I believe the can opener dates it as pre WW2.Thomas Linton will probably be along shortly to give a definitive answer at least relative to the official BSA knives made by Schrade.

Dave, please don't come to Illinois. If you do, I'm gonna bop you on the head and steal that knife. Beautiful example! Thanks for showing it.

Lol...that gave me a good laugh!

I would be more subtle - while you were showing me your knife -I would look over your shoulder and go "LOOK OUT!!!"
when you turn, I would snatch and run....... gone!
